Hi All,

(I did a search on the list for chemical / strip / dip etc..and did not
come up with a significant thread on this particular question - sorry if
I missed it...)



I think I am, just a few days away from taking my tub, fenders, panels
and chassis to the local (chemical) stripper but find myself conflicted
by differing viewpoints as my body guy has indicated he does not prefer
this method. Conversely, the stripper contact I have discussed this with
indicates that this is quite a reasonable use of the technology although
there are defiantly two camps when it comes to chemical vs. blasting.  I
should point out the blaster contact has demonstrated a high degree of
competence and is doing low pressure soda blasting on some high dough
original type mopar units while the stripper seems to be doing more of
the hot-rod custom variety.... Generally, they seem to be priced the
same +- a couple of $hun.... so the dollars are not really a big part of
the decision equation.



(..fyi...I have also heat-gunned all the nasty black stuff off the tub)

So as is the case, I turn to the collective wisdom of the group for some
guidance...I would appreciate some advice / comments / or results of
your personal experiances in the short term or the long term.....dip or
strip?.

Thanks a bunch - Stephen
